Detailed costs in advance without construction planning by an architect

Where are you building in/around Chemnitz?

planned is in Auerswalde - adjacent to Chemnitz-Glösa

Ah, this direction. I am more familiar with the western side of Chemnitz. And not to forget Schloss Lichtenwalde in Niederwiesa.

Hello,

Hello Bauexperte, thank you very much for your reply.

Things are "relaxed" online; here the informal "you" is customary :-)

However, we classify the insulation / thermal insulation in our planning between KfW50 and KfW70. We would place the level of equipment in the medium / normal range, not a luxury villa, but also not do-it-yourself store standard. Maybe I misunderstood this question in terms of content. A pellet heating system is to be used as the heating ... Furthermore, the attic is only used for storage purposes besides the heating and does not require extensive insulation – only the intermediate ceiling itself to the ground floor.

So far approx. TEUR 196 for a KfW 70 efficiency house on a slab foundation and attic prepared for finishing including insulation at the location pellet heating system.

This pellet heating system including buffer storage (manufacturer has been surveyed but not yet decided) would have to be installed on the intermediate ceiling due to space conditions, since there is no possibility in the "ground floor". Outdoor installation is also not possible because of the very narrow building window. The pellet storage should be built at the back of the carport in close proximity to the single-family house.

I have taken that into account, but personally I find it borderline to place a 500 - 850 l buffer storage above the living floor. In my opinion, you should reconsider alternatives here.

... The alternative to partial basement would also be more expensive according to previous discussions.

That is correct, a partial basement is not significantly cheaper than a full basement.

Furthermore, the attic is only used for storage purposes besides the heating and does not require extensive insulation – only the intermediate ceiling itself to the ground floor.

Why do you leave the attic unused? You have designed a rather unusual room layout on the ground floor; with the attic, which is there anyway, you could "relax" the room layout a bit.

Kind regards

Hello construction expert,
thank you for the note about the form of address – I am happy to use the informal YOU form, although this is not generally applicable to "the net."

So far about TEUR 196 for a Kfw 70 efficiency house on a slab and an attic prepared for expansion including insulation of the location pellet heating.

Thank you very much for your cost estimate for KfW70.

... personally, I still find it borderline to place a 500 - 850 l buffer tank above the living floor. In my opinion, you should reconsider alternatives here.

Housing the buffer tank in the utility room would certainly be an option. I will calculate this with the various heating suppliers to see how much net space remains for the originally intended room usage (house connections, washing machine, storage, ...).

... a partial basement is not significantly cheaper than a full basement.

We had originally planned a bungalow with a flat roof and basement (for heating) regarding accessibility for old age. In discussions with potential construction companies, their unanimous statement was: a slab with a pitched roof is significantly cheaper than "going deep." For this reason, we planned upwards instead of a basement, and since there is no other space in the rooms for heating & co., nothing else remained but to place it on the intermediate ceiling.

... why are you leaving the attic unused?

- Accessibility for old age, - underfloor heating installation costs x2 + ongoing heating costs, - more complex insulation if used as living space, ...

... you have designed quite an unusual room layout on the ground floor

I have attached the room usage. Maybe it shows how the rooms are intended to be used individually. The goal was not to create "dead spaces" (long corridors from which the rooms branch off), but to design the living area openly – from which all rooms are accessible. The entrance can only be located on this end wall for various reasons.
What do you consider "unusual" about it – what would you consider to be solved more optimally?

... with the attic that exists anyway, you could "relax" the room layout a bit ...

Currently, no full story is planned upstairs, only high enough for the heating to fit. 300m[SUP]2[/SUP] of living space would be too much area that we do not need – but since there is no basement, it replaces storage space. On the other hand, the smaller dimensions of the single-family house mean that the rooms upstairs must basically be used, and "climbing stairs" is indispensable.

Well, I wouldn’t want to have so many doors in the living room. A few windows still need to go in there as well. With all the openings, you might be able to put a TV in there with a bit of luck...

Hello,

Originally, we had planned a bungalow with a flat roof and a basement (for heating) regarding barrier-free living for old age. In discussions with potential construction companies, their consistent statement was: a foundation slab with a gable roof is significantly cheaper than "going deep." For this reason, instead of a basement, we planned upwards, and since there is otherwise no space in the rooms for heating & co., there was no choice but to place it on the intermediate ceiling.

That is basically correct and initially also reasonable. What bothers me – just my subjective opinion – is that with this "idea" you are essentially buying and paying for a large, unused attic space.

Where is the garage/parking space planned? Are there separate parking spaces designated on the property – on the right and left of your drawing you have windows planned.

... The goal was not to construct "dead spaces" (long corridors from which the rooms branch off), but to design the living space openly – from which all rooms are accessible ... What do you think is "eccentric" about that?

With proper planning – and for that you need an architect – there are no "long" corridors. Your draft strikes me – sorry – like the floor plan of an "open-plan office" – all rooms are "only" accessible through the living area. At some point one wants peace and quiet ...? That would bother me; but I am probably older :-)


Kind regards
